IrcsomeBot<Omar> Is upgrading to a non lts kubuntu version a good idea?06:20
guiverc@Omar, the non-LTS releases (eg. 22.10 or soon-to-be-released 23.04) will provide newer software (without use of backports), but you'll need to release-upgrade sooner.  Your choice; each has pros & cons06:22
guivercmain benefit of LTS is longer-support cycle (ie. longer between release-upgrades; but due to larger change, more chance of problems just less often).. and some 3rd party packages only package for LTS (if you do rely on 3rd party software; sticking with LTS can be a benefit)06:22
weedmic5.19.0-38-generic - I want to get to sysrq - i press alt+print screen - nothing happens.  tried both left and right alt with and without fn key.  what should I press?  I have ensured that sysrq=176.07:41
guiverc[m]weedmic: SysRq allows you to direct (via commands) the kernel bypassing any GUI/UI...  The SysRq key is followed by commands (where the ALT key being held down is essential as it's what tells the kernel the following keystrokes/commands are part of the sysrq command).  Hitting SysRq without a command would in my expectation do nothing..  (maybe an entry in log of 'awaiting command, no command entered' if logging was extreme rather than07:44
guiverc[m]default...07:44
guiverc[m]If you don't recall commands, grabbing a phone or another device & searching "magic sysrq" in a search engine usually finds wikipedia page near or at top of results.. explore it for list of keys & thus commands available for you, wikipedia for example uses REISUB as an example...07:45
weedmicguiverc[m]: i do not quite/fully understand your answer.  are you saying i need to create a kernel panic first before it brings up the interface?07:46
guiverc[m]note also, some releases have SysRq commands disabled by default; others do not.. you mention 5.19 which is a kernel used by more than one release, thus it may, or may not be disabled (often its specific commands that are disabled too)07:46
weedmici have already ensured it is enabled with a result of 176 (which means everything)07:47
guiverc[m]IF you have a kernel panic; the kernel is dead & it thus cannot respond to commands (sysrq commands won't do anything...).  The SysRq key being hit (with ALT) does nothing other than directs the kernel to listen for a command; the subsequent keys tell it what to do; SysRq is the start of a command & not the actual instruction you're passing to the kernel.07:47
weedmicso you are not07:47
guiverc[m]REISUB is as mentioned an example of a common SysRq command, that as stated I believe the wikipedia page uses as example...07:48
guiverc[m]the REISUB being keys you hit... the last B tells the kernel to reboot; replace it with an O where the command is REISUO and the machine will turn off instead of reboot ...07:49
weedmicok, I watched a video by chris titus - i now understand what you meant.  i was misremembering it.  ty07:51

IrcsomeBot<AquaLK> How change hostname ? username means hostname ?13:33
oerheks!hostname13:36
ubottuUse hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.13:36
oerheksin 2 places, aqualk13:36
oerheksand hostname is not username.13:36

mpaintWhile the technical release date is on thursday, april 20th. Is there a possibility it will be released on the 19th given time zones and all?13:46
oerheksas there is no given time, it might well be on 21th13:52
oerheksor, in case of an issue, much later13:52
mpaintYou're probably right, I'll probably just stick with 22.04 until 24.04 comes out.13:59
mpaintBecause of the 9 month support cycle that non LTS releases get.13:59

user|28Can I install Kubuntu as a VMWare Fusion VM on a Macbook Air M1?18:12
mparilloI was able to install it using VirtualBox on an iMac some years ago.18:28
mparilloIIRC, I did not have any real issues other some keyboard chords, like ctrl alt f4 to get to a tty, or REISUB. I do not recall if the right mouse button was detected. I never tested the webcam.18:35
mmikowskimparillo: thanks for reviewing the article! The laptop nails 3 of 5 ergonomic factors: screen, trackpad, keyboard. The other two, battery life and speakers, are decent but not exceptional.20:31
